IPMI fan speed as percent
by Louis Bailleul 02 Mar '16

02 Mar '16

Hi all, I have some devices for which the fan speed reported over IPMI is in percent. As the current ipmi_unit is “RPM” they were ignored. Thinking that it could be an easy tweak I just added a definition for percent in includes/definitions/sensors.inc.php $config['ipmi_unit']['percent'] = 'fanspeed'; This makes the detection and polling work but the graphs are messed up as they expect RPMs (kind of make sense eh). I believe that the fan sensors code is not designed to accommodate different units. So I come for advice on how to tackle this one. Is there a sensors that already work with percent ? Below is the output of the ipmi sensors. Yes it shit, and you need to thanks HP for that (especially things like the temperature limit for CPU or reporting the nominal Wattage of a PSU instead of the power consumption …) UID Light | 0x0 | discrete | 0x0180| na | na | na | na | na | na Sys.

Device showing interface error cleared long ago
by KA PDE 29 Feb '16

29 Feb '16

Hi, I have a device which is always showing an interface error which was previous to the Observium installation. I cleared the error on the switch and it did not reproduce. However Observium is showing it every day I check. I've tried to delete the device and adding it back and it show the error again. After upgrading to the latests CE it is the same. Maybe this has persisted in the DB, I don't know... Does anyone has any hint for this behaviour? Thanks in advance and best regards, Pau

DOM optic sensor graphs always rounded to 0W
by Sandy Breeze 26 Feb '16

26 Feb '16

Hi, Currently running: 0.16.1.7533 (26th January 2016) We’ve noticed the DOM optic power sensor data to be graphed at 0W all the time. Noticing the ‘value’ figure is correct on the optic’s power status page, we subsequently found all data in the RRD to be correct. eg:  <row><v>6.1840000000e-04</v></row>  <row><v>6.1300000000e-04</v></row>  <row><v>6.1435000000e-04</v></row> It just seems the rrdtool graph function is not rendering this sensor data with anything useful. The graph is being generated with something like this: rrdtool graph /tmp/FLjPO7rtfRJQOfGn.png -Y --lower-limit 0 --alt-autoscale-max --start 1456347228 --end 1456433628 --width 1152 --height 300 -c BACK#EEEEEE00 -c SHADEA#EEEEEE00 -c SHADEB#EEEEEE00 -c FONT#000000 -c CANVAS#FFFFFF00 -c GRID#a5a5a5 -c MGRID#FF9999 -c FRAME#5e5e5e -c ARROW#5e5e5e -R normal --font LEGEND:8:'DroidSansMono,DejaVuSansMono' --font AXIS:7:'DroidSansMono,DejaVuSansMono' --font-render-mode normal -E -A COMMENT:' Last Max\n' DEF:sensor=/srv/www/iss/observium/rrd/t40-ar14/sensor-power-cisco-entity-sensor-58513400.rrd:sensor:AVERAGE DEF:sensor_max=/srv/www/iss/observium/rrd/t40-ar14/sensor-power-cisco-entity-sensor-58513400.rrd:sensor:MAX DEF:sensor_min=/srv/www/iss/observium/rrd/t40-ar14/sensor-power-cisco-entity-sensor-58513400.rrd:sensor:MIN AREA:sensor_max#c5c5c5 AREA:sensor_min#ffffffff LINE1.5:sensor#cc0000:'Transceiver Rx Power -' GPRINT:sensor:LAST:%6.2lfW GPRINT:sensor:MAX:%6.2lfW\\l HRULE:0.0009585#999999::dashes Seeing the data collected is in the order of 10^-4 d.p. small, how can we stop this being rounded to 0 all the time on a the graph? I understand completely this is rrdtool not automatically choosing a very good scale for you, but is there any way to detect these low values and fix them up for the graphs by order of 1000 say? Cheers Sandy

Subscription Graphs Issue/API
by Josh Hopper 26 Feb '16

26 Feb '16

Well, my graphs do not work. Trying to figure out where I went wrong so I do not have to reinstall from scratch. Any assistance, is highly appreciated. I see this: [image: Inline image 1] Its the same for every device. I'm on Observium 0.16.2.7629 (stable).

Creating group with ifInOctets_perc
by Louis Bailleul 26 Feb '16

26 Feb '16

Hi, Seems that I can’t create a group that uses ifInOctets_perc for its entity match ? Is this because of a reason/bug or I am doing it stupidly ? My alert checker is working fine and I was able to create a group with ifOperStatus. They are both in the Mettrics category so I expected them to work the same way.

Panasas support
by Louis Bailleul 26 Feb '16

26 Feb '16

Hi, I have a few Panasas devices that (not surprisingly) Observium doesn’t handle very well. It basically only get the uptime out of it. The devices are similar to this : http://www.panasas.com/products/activestor-16-18 I have attached debug discovery, poller and snmpwalk of the top tree and enterprise parts. I also have attached the mibs from the device (retrieved from the device itself) and a logo (retrieved from http://www.panasas.com/news/press-room ) It looks like there is very little in the standard places and every interesting thing has been shoved into the enterprise tree. Do you think it is possible to add support for these devices ?
